Even the figure for whites seem high to be honest. I doubt memory is the issue here, but differential truthfulness may be. It's true that you see that in surveys about drug use. I don't have time to check right now, but it would be interesting to look at the PPCS data and see if

For what it's worth, I find a much larger disparity in the PPCS.https://twitter.com/phl43/status/996521896643629056 …

(Also, I hadn't realized you were reporting the rates in percent, so I take back what I said about them being suspiciously high even for whites.)
